Techniques for Managing Distributed Computing Components

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein each health assessment application of the plurality of health assessment applications executes on a plurality of computing devices separate from the plurality of computing instances of the distributed computing environment.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein an instance of the health assessment data in the first distributed cache comprises first health assessment data obtained by a first health assessment application, second health assessment data obtained by a second health assessment application, and overall health assessment data for the instance calculated from the first health assessment data and the second health assessment data.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising identifying the subset of computing instances from a third distributed cache based at least in part on an identifier associated with an entity associated with the request.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising maintaining application health assessment data for each of the plurality of health assessment applications in a fourth distributed cache.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein storing the first collective health assessment data in the second distributed cache as the stored health assessment data is based at least in part on receiving an indication that the first collective health assessment data has been received.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising transmitting, to the health assessment application, identifiers for a particular set of computing instances, wherein the health assessment application probes each of the particular set of computing instances for its corresponding state.

9. The distributed computing system of claim 8, wherein an instance of the health assessment data in the first distributed cache comprises first health assessment data obtained by a first health assessment application, second health assessment data obtained by a second health assessment application, and overall health assessment data for the instance calculated from the first health assessment data and the second health assessment data.

11. The distributed computing system of claim 8, wherein storing the first collective health assessment data in the second distributed cache as the stored health assessment data is based at least in part on receiving an indication that the first collective health assessment data has been received.

12. The distributed computing system of claim 8, wherein the software service is further configured to transmit, to the particular health assessment application, identifiers for a particular set of computing instances, wherein the particular health assessment application probes each of the particular set of computing instances for its corresponding state.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13, wherein an instance of the health assessment data in the first distributed cache comprises first health assessment data obtained by a first health assessment application, second health assessment data obtained by a second health assessment application, and overall health assessment data for the instance calculated from the first health assessment data and the second health assessment data.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13, wherein storing the first collective health assessment data in the second distributed cache as the stored health assessment data is based at least in part on receiving an indication that the first collective health assessment data has been received.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13, wherein executing the instructions further causes the computing device to transmit, to the health assessment application, identifiers for a particular set of computing instances, wherein the health assessment application probes each of the particular set of computing instances for its corresponding state.
